Item Overcomimg Instability in Computing the Fundamental Matrix for a Markov Chain(1998-10-15) Heyman, Daniel P.; O'Leary, Dianne P.We present an algorithm for solving linear systems involving the probability or rate matrix for a Markov chain. It is based on a UL factorization but works only with a submatrix of the factor U. We demonstrate its utility on Erlang-B models as well as more complicated models of a telephone multiplexing system.
